Title: Gunner interface
Post by: Micke on July 26, 1999, 07:19:00 AM
Hi guys!

Was just wondering what type of gunner interface on bombers etc u're gonna use ?

WB like, where u can leave yer pilot seat and jump around or zee famouz Otto Von Firebaum ?

Personally i would like it to be like this:

If u take a bomber u need fellow players to get gunners, ie no mates, no guns. Someone ever see a B17 1944 over Germany with plane on autopilot and the pilot running around the entire aircraft shootin guns ? naaaa dindt think so  (http://beta.hitechcreations.com/ubb/smile.gif)


Another more serious thing (hehe) :

I'm 30 years old..sitting here at work and droolin huge amounts of... over a computer game. My gf just told me that i am sick and in need of help, professional help.

U feel it too??

Cheers

Me thinks there was the no otto solution in AW - look what that did to bomb runs.

There was a nice suggestion on AGW some time ago... enable players to man gun station when the buff is already flying.

mike, your gf is probably right  (http://beta.hitechcreations.com/ubb/biggrin.gif)

This goes down to the old otto debate. Do we, or don't we need computer gunners killing us?

I like the azreal solution....

One of the biggest downers for human gunners is the time to get to alt...  now for the pilot then maybe it's part of the game [did someone say 10k alt starts?]

By allowing in-flight gunner additons the pilot could call for gunners at say 40 miles from nme territory and in fact would get plenty of takers.

I love it and super-otto no longer exists!

I've got to disagree.  I like the ability to assume the role of other crewmembers.  It'd be great if you could get a full crew every time you took off, but that's not the case.

As to being able to join a bomber already in flight, that would be really nice.  I know that that is not as easy as it sounds to implement, but you never know.

Micke

If you insist on having human gunners only an d not letting the pilot gun then you will either get no bombers or you will get defenceless bombers.  That is not good.  I can tell you from Playing Dawn Of Aces that just finding ONE person willing to gun and available when you want to fly is pretty impossible!
